{quote} Good decision, almost I also follow the same approach on high voltage news sessions; but sometimes I use few opportunities with the half trading lots size.
Which news events do you use most often?

Do you use the American one too? I'm asking because you're trading fulltime and the London session probably ends before you stop trading.

Best times are the ones you mentioned in your first post.

Get up, set up, trade for a few hours, eat, do some work, get back in the market trade for a few more hours and then out.

If you can't make your pips in that time then try again tomorrow - do not sit in front of the computer all day.

If your all day means 24 hours, then I agree with you; but if you mean full time trading like 8-9 hours, as pro traders do; then I have objection. Because I see, almost all of pro traders spend here such a long-long sessions, they don’t count the trading hours, and they always wait for the perfect entry according to their trading system & routine.

New York session is the good one. But it doesn't mean you can not make money in other sessions. It is all about your strategy. You have to research in which session you get more quality trades based on your strategy. What you find suitable is the best for you.

In my case the best time was during London and UK trading session because at that time I am awake and most volatility is in the market.
If you are using automated trading then it is not crucial for you to be awake in front of the computer and watch the market movement.

You should base your trading time on your trading strategy because good plan will bring you profit on your account.

Do not forget to check when trading pair have higher volatility, which trading session is the best for any pair and which day in a week is better.
I have added a picture of daily average pip range.

In the rare cases when I've used EAs that traded instead of me I still preferred to be wide awake and watch their work.

It's also very detailed, intuitive and easy to customize. I've tried other calendars, but the Forex Factory one is definitely the one I like best.
